8(x + 2) = 36.....distribute thru the parenthesis
8x + 16 = 36....subtract 16 from both sides
8x = 36 - 16
8x = 20...divide both sides by 8
x = 20/8
x = 5/2 or 2 1/2
Answer:
a) 5units
b) (4.5, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the coordinate of P and Q be P(3, 2) and Q(6, 6)
PQ can be gotten using the distance formula;
PQ =√(6-2)²+(6-3)²
PQ = √4²+3²
PQ =√16+9
PQ =√25
PQ = 5units
Midpoint M is expressed as;
M(X, Y) = {(x1+x2)/2, y1+y2/2}
X = x1+x2/2
X = 3+6/2
X= 9/2
X = 4.5
Similarly;
Y = y1+y2/2
Y = 2+6/2
Y = 8/2
Y = 4
Hence the midpoint of PQ is (4.5, 4)
I think that is right I look it up and god bless have a great day
Answer:
The answer to your question is L = 10 in , M = 9 in ; S = 5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
longest side = 5 + x in
medium side = 4 + x in
shortest side = x
Perimeter = 24 in
Process
1.- Write and equation to solve this problem
Perimeter = longest side + medium side + shortest side
Substitution
24 = (5 + x) + (4 + x) + x
Simplification
24 = 5 + x + 4 + x + x
24 = 9 + 3x
24 - 9 = 3x
15 = 3x
x = 15/3
x = 5
2.- Calculate the lengths of the side
Longest side = 5 + 5 = 10 in
Medium side = 5 + 4 = 9 in
Shortest side = 5 in
